HI all,
1. Karna, when his charriot's wheel got struck does not try to stop the battle, but tries for Bramhastra.
2. When he fails to retrieve bramhastra, he tries to take out the wheel to come out of the temporary phase of "shaap". And he asks arjun to stop the battle.
He could have taken another charriot, but he didn't.
When would a warrior turns for bramhastra???? when nothing works.
Karna knew that he cannot beat arjuna. So he went for bramhastra. But bramhastra destructs everything...even his mitr Duryodhana. And GOD cannot remain silent. That's why Lord Krishna asked arjuna to release the arrow. And i feel by doing so, Lord Krishna saved some grace for Karna.
Ppl just talk of kavach kundal.
But they are not indestructible against pashupatastra.
kavach kundal episode stands as an example for karna's daatrutva only.
So Karna is no way a mighty warrior than arjuna.
regards,
shashidhar.
